CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS

1.1 Goal Orientation

The Bapatla College of Arts and Science is a degree college located in a small

coastal town of Bapatla in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh. It is an aided institution

affiliated to Acharya Nagarjuna University offering undergraduate courses.

The college was founded in 1963 by a voluntary organization named, the

Bapatla Education Society. When the society desired to establish a seat of higher

learning in Bapatla, which was a reflection of the long cherished desire of the people

of this region, the philanthropic public responded enthusiastically and gave a fillip to

the cause. Scores of farmers, merchants, advocates, educationists and the intellectual

elite rose to the occasion by making modest but invaluable contributions. The Bapatla

The broad spectrums of the objectives of the college do have

bearing on all the needs of the students ranging from spiritual to sports.

All the major considerations of a good institution should address itself

to have been well taken care of.



35

i) Intellectual:

Our college has succeeded in creating an atmosphere where its students

are kept intellectually vibrant and stimulated.

Besides imparting knowledge of the subject, students are encouraged

and trained to participate in seminars, debates, group discussions, quiz

competitions etc.

ii) Academic: The present day students are looking for not only

quality education but also immediate utility. Therefore, the college has

been offering diverse programmes with subjects like Computer Science

and Electronics, so that the students will have more employment

opportunities. The college also offers traditional courses such as B.A,

B.Com, B.Sc with Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and

Zoology.

iii) Access to the disadvantaged and equity: The institution has

always believed in its social obligation to provide access to the

disadvantaged to higher education. Consistent with this ideology as

well as the reservation policy of the Government of Andhra Pradesh,

disadvantaged groups like SCs, STs BCs, women and minorities have

been provided with admissions. The college is maintaining two hostels,

one for women and one for boys. The women’s hostel provides

accommodation to 700 students and the boy’s hostel can accommodate

400 students.

iv) Training: Teacher training is a continuous process and it is

essential to enhance the quality of teaching. Over years, the college has

sent many lecturers to attend orientation/refresher courses, seminars

both at the state and national levels, workshops and teacher training

programmes.



36

v) Self development: If we want to make our students face up the

challenges of 21st century, mere knowledge of the subject is not

enough. They need an all round development. So the college has

provided ample opportunities for the students to participate in sports,

fine arts and other extra – curricular activities that help develop their

personality.

vi) Community and National Development: We need skilled, healthy

and intellectual human force to develop the community and the nation.

The college will participate in several community development

programmes like tree plantation, sanitation, health and nutrition,

creation of awareness about AIDS, Hepatitis B, Dengue fever, Blood

donation and traffic control etc. through its NSS, NCC, and Red ribbon

club. For development of nation courses like Computer Science,

Electronics and Multimedia are being taught.

vii) Ecology and Environment:

In our college students are being taught about the significance of

environment. Our campus is maintained clean and green by the efforts

of the volunteers of Eco club, NSS. Rain water harvesting pits are

arranged in the campus to raise ground water table. Tree plantation is

done. Solar energy panels are going to be installed very soon for non

conventional energy source.

viii) Value Orientation: “A nation is only as strong as the integrity of

its citizens”. Producing skilled individuals devoid of moral sense will

be disastrous for any nation. Colleges should produce not only good

technocrats but also good human beings. Therefore, the college took it

on itself to inculcate the sense of social service among its students

through NSS, NCC, Youth Red Cross and Red Ribbon Club. Students

are also exposed to great moral values through extension lecturers, and

study of literature.



37

ix) Employment: Undoubtedly employment is the prime need of any

student. Most of the new courses have employment potential. There is

also a placement cell in the college to guide students with regard to

various employment opportunities. The college also conducts lectures

on career guidance and personality development.

x) ICT Introduction: Information and Communication Technologies

are effectively used by the college. Some of the computer based

programmes and electronics include information and communication

technologies. Apart from being part of the curricula ICT is used as a

teaching tool. We have an e-Class room with LCD projector and

internet facility which are put to good use.

xi) Global Trends: In an era of globalization the development of a

country is invariably linked with the development of the world.

Realizing this important need, the college has introduced many new

courses that have components reflecting global trends. Courses like

Computer Science, Electronics and even pure sciences like Chemistry

have certain components like Polymer Chemistry and drugs and drugs

intermediaries, the areas of study that meet global demands.

The State Government is catering the need of socially backward students so 90-95% students are getting social welfare scholarships. 32. Details on student enrichment programmes (special lectures / workshops /seminar) with external experts: Guest lectures were arranged with external experts and occasionally. General Guest lectures will be arranged where ever required: Yes 33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning:

1. Power point presentation. 2. Charts. 3. Models.

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities: Visit local pure water plants; local aided schools and demonstrated the experiments. 35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans: Strength:

1. Well equipped laboratories. 2. Good Teaching Staff. 3. Well funding by the Principal and Management.

Weakness: Nil Healthy Practices of Department of Chemistry


Certificate course in Oils and fats Certificate course in Water technology

2 Goal

To encourage cottage industry and mineral water plant.

3 The Context

To develop awareness among public about soaps, drinking water.

4 The Practice

Many classes are conducted, practical training with the support of local, private funding agencies.


Students getting jobs in local oil companies and some had started mineral water plants with the financial support from banks.


This is completely self financed course is an expensive affair for students.
